4. At a Ohio fundraising event for George W. Bush on September 26,
2003, the Chairman and CEO of Diebold, Walden O'Dell stated that he was "committed to helping Ohio
deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."

9. Diebold's new touch screen voting machines have no paper trail of
any votes. In other words, there is no way to verify that the data
coming out of the machine is the same as what was legitimately put in by
voters.

12. Diebold employed 5 convicted felons as consultants and developers
to help write the central compiler computer code that counted 50% of the
votes in 30 states. The Senior Vice-President and Senior
Programmer at Global Election Systems (GES) now called Diebold Election
Systems, Jeff Dean, was convicted of 23 counts of felony theft for
planting back doors in software he created for ATM. Court
documents indicate Jeff Dean used a "high degree of sophistication" to
evade detection. GES employed other convicted felons in senior
positions, including a fraudulent securities trader and a drug
trafficker.

In December 2005, Diebold's CEO Wally O'Dell left the company
following reports that the company was facing securities fraud
litigation surrounding charges of insider trading[9].
